Scalable JavaScript Application Architecture

Just because you didn’t get to go to that awesome conference doesn’t mean that you can’t still watch the lectures! Each weekend, we’ll feature a recommended web development lecture on Nettuts+.

This week's featured lecture comes courtesy of Nicholas Zakas, who is an engineer for the Yahoo! home page. He has an uncanny ability to turn high level, and confusing concepts - particularly JavaScript related - into something consumable by the general development community. But truthfully, this video on scalable JavaScript is only one of over a dozen fantastic talks that he's given over the years.

Nicholas C. Zakas is a web software engineer who specializes in user interface design and implementation for web applications using JavaScript, Dynamic HTML, CSS, XML, and XSLT. He is currently principal front end engineer for the Yahoo! homepage and is a contributor to the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library.
